Lil Miss Spotty
6 Answers
Thought you might like an update Sqad, and others who remember chickenpoxgate.
I am Little Miss Spotty again, in fact more than with the chickenpox scare. Checked with rhumo this morning as had an appointment anyway and they don't think it's methotrexate related but got a raised white cell count again (like chickenpoxgate) and something on my kidney results.
Got called in by GP and dip test fine. They reckon pityriasis rosea. Could explain the nausea and generally feeling a bit headachey and crap which I'd been putting down to mtx side effects. Wondering if this could explain the previous episode as well.
Being referred to orthopaedics for my knees (though the scan result I hand delivered seemed to be mysteriously missing, probably hiding with my physio referral!) and said they could do injections under my shoulder blades if the mtx doesn't get the inflammation down soon. Much more movement in my main shoulder bits after the steroid injections though :)

:) Junior Dr reckoned uticaria, senior Dr came in and said the pityriasis thing. I am keeping an open mind...and itch...and it's spreading...
It's a doughnut kinda night! ;)
Ooh, my friend I asked about (thrombosis) is now on warfarin, she can't remember the condition name. My relative (hypothermia etc...) seems, touch wood, to be doing OK. Cause still unknown!
